Ballad of Jeb Stuart Lyrics by Dick Jonas

The People We Knew

0

[Verse 1]
On a steep and jagged hillside near Mụ Giạ Pass
Hanging in a parachute, this day is his last
Just another fighter jock, they're mostly all the same
But this one here was differ’nt, Jeb Stewart was his name

[Verse 2]
Well, Jeb was feeling mighty poorly, both his legs were broke
And I could see him hanging there between the puffs of smoke
I told Jeb, "Now, drink some water, Sandy's on the way
The Jolly Greens are coming in, we'll get you out today."

[Verse 3]
I could tell that he was hurt much worse than first I thought
’Cause sometimes hе just wouldn't answer then sometimеs he'd talk
"Ol' Jeb likely needs a doctor," I'd said to Crown
And he came back with, "Jolly's got PJ's, they'll soon be down.’’

[Verse 4]
I held high and kept Jeb talking to me all the while
When I told him here comes Sandy, I could see him smile
Jeb said, "Listen babes, you have ol' Sandy watch his stuff
They got ZPU and small arms, this one’s gon' be tough."
Sandy flew right down the valley looking for the sites
He pulled off with battle damage and turned around to fight

[Verse 5]
Jeb called up and told him, "Sandy, bring it down again;
The guns are down behind the karst; now lay your napalm in."
Jeb worked Sandy like a FAC, "Hit twenty meters right
Watch the small arms on the left," then all the guns went quiet
Jeb was talking low and weaker, time was running out
The guns were down and Jolly's here, but I began to doubt

[Verse 6]
First the PJ's tried to reach him, but it took too long
And I was Bingo minus seven, time to head for home
All the way to Wolf Pack country not a word was said
’Cause when the PJ's finally reached him, young Jeb Stewart was dead

[Verse 7]
We rolled out and taxied in, and climbed out in the rain
Hoot and Bill and all the boys, they met us at the plane
I told Hoot Jeb didn't make it, they got him at the Pass
And I came home because my bird was running out of gas
Listen boys, and hear me good, I want you all to know
That ol' Jeb died a hero's death, the way we all would go
